The university emphasises a practical, hands-on approach in its teaching, with student facilities that include nursing and midwifery suites, science and engineering laboratories, a 360-degree ship’s bridge simulator and a mock court room.
It also has its own multi-award winning Centre for Entrepreneurship that supports students and recent graduates who want to start their own business, become self-employed or work on a freelance basis. Thanks to their Bathgate Start-up Fund they can offer students a range of opportunities, from small grants to test market demand, through to larger awards to support new ventures.
LJMU degree courses are developed in partnership with industry partners and, with work experience being an intrinsic part of every course, the university’s graduates are much sought after by employers.
Alumni of LJMU include actress and Golden Globe winner Claire Foy, Britain’s greatest-ever female gymnast Beth Tweddle MBE, and former President of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed.
